In the late 90s I was in KY, with dial-up and averaged 48.6k. That was doable back then. Was overseas for 3 yrs, with fast German internet. Came back here and could only get 24.4k dial-up for $15 monthly. Could not live with it. DSL in 'Old Town' is a 15-18 month wait list, and $30 a month. Wireless is not cheap, but is fast. During the day speeds are around 800k. However, in the evening's speed is un-harnessed. It is not uncommon to have 1.8Mb, with burst' into 2.3Mb range. Just the other evening a patch was released, somewhere around 150MB, total download time was like 22 seconds. During wait times at on-line game sites, I sit idle, which shows a slow connection due to inactivity, but once in game, lets just say, folks have been 'stymied'. Monthly cost......$60.
